Untethered...

I realized, as the bus was pulling up to collect me for work, that I'd left my cell phone at home today. The leash is off. I am incommunicado for the next eight hours. So, if you're texting me or calling me and don't get through - that's why.

Try emailing me or commenting here and I'll get back to you. As needed.

Wouldn't it be ironic to get a callback for a recent audition on a day that I can do absolutely nothing about it?

In other news, I received a notice from the IRS yesterday. They were informing me that my stimulus check was going to arrive by the 6th. And that my stimulus check amount was going to be $600.

I received my state income tax return check last week. $243. I used that to pay Joe the last bit of cash that I owed him, pay Stinger the last bit of cash that I owed them and paid my voiceover teacher a nice chunk towards my voiceover demo. In addition to all that bill payment, I also had enough left over to pick up a few graphic novels.

So, it's nice to have a nice stimulus check coming that I can apply to some of my other neccesary projects. With this next check, I restore a bank account for myself and get Maggie a long-overdue vet visit. Once we get her ear infection cleared up, quality of life will improve for me, Joe and Maggie. That's a very good thing.

Which leaves me with the entire Federal Tax Return Check left unclaimed. $800 to spend wherever I please. The most likely candidate being a plane ticket to Toronto, if Stinger is accepted to the improv festival.

So, I guess a big chunk of it is claimed, after all.

Cheers,
Mr.B
